On The Wing

Owl City

Text File

Owl City: On The Wing Obviously not a perfect transcription, but I think it sounds pretty good. For the parts there is a bass chord and a melody on top, I find it easiest to strum the bass chord my thumb and use my other fingers for picking the melody. If you just want the chords, just look at the bass note. 7 = Bb, 4 = Gm, 2 = F, 0 = Eb. Enjoy.

I'm not going to tab it all out, but this is the idea) Main riff (x4) Chorus (Fade out) Full Lyrics: Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky And we'll stir the stars around and watch them fall away Into the Hudson Bay and plummet out of sight and sound The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills Where I live in the Alpine heights Below the northern lights I spend my coldest nights alone awake And thinking of the weekend we were in love (The weekend we were in love) Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull A thousand miles from the tide Put photos on the walls of New York shopping malls Distract me so I stay inside I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade 'cuz I would make a hook And I fish them from the sky My darling she and I were hanging on so take us high To sing the world goodbye I am floating away lost in a silent ballet I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you Awake to take in the view Late nights and early parades Still photos and noisy arcades My darling we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there) Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there) Or are you just a decoy dream in my head Am I home or am I simply tumbling out alone I am floating away (Floating away) Lost in a silent ballet (Silent ballet) I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you Awake to take in the view Late nights and early parades (Early parades) Still photos and noisy arcades (Noisy arcades) My darling we're both on the wing look down and keep on singing And we can go anywhere Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there) Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there)
